Answer:
Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.
Survival of the Fittest (Natural Selection):
When bacteria are initially exposed to an antibiotic, those most susceptible to the antibiotic will die quickly, leaving any surviving bacteria to pass on their resistant features to succeeding generations.
Answer:
Weight is a measure of gravitational pull.
Weight is a type of force which attracts things towards the center of earth. Weight is measured in Newton. Weight depends on the gravity of earth. Weight changes due to change in height. Value of gravity is higher at the center of earth and six times lower at the moon because of no gravitational force of earth.
Answer:
a. transcription
Explanation:
<em>Sugar transport in phloem is referred to as pressure flow and it involves the movement of sugar through the phloem vascular tissue from the regions where sugar is synthesized (by photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant's body that require sugar.</em>
The parts of plants where sugar is synthesized (usually the leaf) is known as sugar source while the parts where they are transported is referred to as the source. Sources are usually areas of of high osmotic concentration and high water pressure while sinks are usually areas of low osmotic concentration and low water pressure.
<em>Hence, sugar transport in the phloem can be said to be influenced by the rate of sugar production at the source (rate of photosynthesis), turgor pressure as well as sugar concentration in sinks and sources.</em>
The only option that has no known effect on sugar transport in the phloem is transcription.
The correct option is a.
Answer:
a. Decrease water reabsorption
: decrease blood pressure.
b. Decrease peripheral resistance
: decrease blood pressure
c. Vasodilation
: decrease blood pressure
d. Decrease salt intake
: decrease blood pressure
e. Decrease blood volume
: decrease blood pressure
f. Vasoconstriction
: increase blood pressure
g. Increase peripheral resistance: increase blood pressure
h. Increase salt intake: increase blood pressure
i. Increase blood volume
: increase blood pressure
j. Increase water reabsorption: increase blood pressure
Explanation:
- Total peripheral resistance: This term refers to the resistance offered by the vascular system to the blood flow. This resistance is a result of the friction between the blood and the vessel's walls. In other words, it is the opposition of the vessels to blood flow. The total peripheral resistance is the summary of all the bloody circuit resistances in the body. Those mechanisms that induce vasoconstriction conduce to an increase in total peripheral resistance, while mechanisms that induce vasodilation provoke a decrease in total peripheral resistance.
- Blood pressure: This term refers to the strength applied by the blood against the vessel walls as it flows. This pressure is determined by the bombed blood strength and the volume as well as by the vessel size and flexibility. Blood pressure changes continuously according to the activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, among others.
- Salt ingestion causes an increase in plasmatic osmolarity, stimulates thirst, and hence, water ingestion. Sodium retains water, expanding the blood volume and causing an increase in vessel pressure.
- The antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin hormone, is released by changes in serum osmolarity or blood volume. Its function is to keep homeostasis and make kidneys conserve or keep water by concentrating urine and by reducing its volume. By these actions, the antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorption, according to the organism´s needs.
- Kidneys control blood pressure in many ways. If the pressure is elevated, kidneys produce the loss of salt and water, normalizing arterial pressure. But if pressure is low, kidneys conserve water.
Answer:
Photosynthesis
Explanation:
This is a role in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. The flow of energy and cycling of matter can be traced.
